While the word “amen” is typically defined as meaning “so be it,” this book examines an Egyptian deity known as “Amen” and his influence on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Amen is seen not just as an important word and concept but also as an important god in religious history.
The first part of the book focuses on Egyptian religious history and then moves into examining the monotheistic God, Amon as the “sole God,” Moses and Judaism, Catholicism, and the Islamic Empire. These are then followed by Jesus and his Revelation as well as the future of religions. The book continues with an appendix which lists all the work the author did to promote this book and then an epilogue by another person. In the end, the book posits that the holy scriptures need to be revived.
With its in-depth examination of Egyptian religious history as well as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, there is significant research done by the author which will make the reader ponder his premise. Filled with figures and tables which aid in this study, it is easy to become engrossed in this history. The focus is on one quote from Jesus in Revelation stating that: “These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God.” The author sees this statement as verifying that Amen (Amon) is the god of creation. Due to its premise, the book is bound to spark a great deal of conversation in religious circles. The focus on humanity’s need to love one another is a valuable theme.
